You have spent time with their loved ones when things were tough. They know you are volunteers. You many not take money, or anything else, no matter how insignificant. Let me make this clear. One of our patients had a teapot collection and a volunteer who saw her every day, commented on one.The woman insisted that she should have it. After her death, the family said it went missing. It happens.

Sad indictment on people's mistrust while in the midst of grief, nicely done.

Sometimes anger is a relief mechanism for grief. We've all been there. Well expressed.
